I think ('thinking' is somewhat different to 'positively knowing') that the pair of holes allowed the Niederbieber draco to revolve around the pole.<br>
The advertisement draco placed at the gate of our archaeological site has a head ca. 80 cem long an it revolves with the wind so easily that it is a problem, because the whole draco, when the wind is strong enough, gets positioned across the wind and no airflow inflates the tail!<br>
Maybe it would be more practical to get the head fixed to the pole and leave to the draco-bearer the task of orienting it.<br>
That question and the other one about the pole restricting the airflow, should be better answered by actual users of draco replicas.<br>
I used the term 'Celt' to mean generally 'Celtic Iron Age culture', a phaenomenon wider than the Roman Empire was.<br>

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
